9. General business:
   9.1. ALIA office-bearers guide on-line should be checked regularly for updates. AGM is no longer compulsory. A six-monthly report by the convener and passed by the committee is required (1 July and 1 November). AGM has been superseded by advent of annual planning and budgeting cycles for groups. Election of convener, secretary and treasurer is all that is necessary. However, groups can make own arrangements and therefore an AGM will be held on 19 August at Walkers Hotel. Karen to produce flyer and check cost. SALT feels such major changes should not take place without adequate consultation.
   9.2. ALIA membership - Stephen Peacock has indicated interest in joining ALIA. Membership form to be forwarded to him.
   
   
10. Any other business:
    10.1. none.
    
    
11. Meeting closed: 8:00pm
    
    
12. Next meeting: 15 July 2002 (apologies from Eva).
